Here's the fight video of Mackenzie Dern vs Angela Hill from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Strawweight. This was supposed to be on last week's show. But when Irene Aldana replaced Julianna Pena in the upcoming Bantamweight title shot, this fight was moved to the main event of this show. So the fight is five rounds. Mackenzie is 30 years old originally from Phoenix. She trains with noted striking coach Jason Parillo in Huntington Beach, CA. Mackenzie is a former BJJ world champ. So once she gets a takedown, she can finish. It's getting that takedown that can be a problem. She is 7-3 in the UFC. But when she lost her last fight by majority decision to Yan Xiaonan, she lost a chance at a title shot. So she needs to win this fight to get back in the title picture. Angela is 38 years old. She trains at Alliance in San Diego. Angela is a kickboxer with zero ground skills. She is 10-12 in the UFC. I thought that Angela trying to keep the fight standing for five rounds was a very tall order. So I was not surprised that Mackenzie dominated this fight. Three of the five rounds were 10-8 for Mackenzie. She came close to a finish in all three rounds but ran out of time. Angela won round two 10-9 and Mackenzie won round three 10-9. So I scored the fight 50-43 for Mackenzie. It was probably her best UFC performance. She said afterwards that she would like to fight former champ Rose Namajunas. Obviously a win over a former champ would get Mackenzie a title shot. We'll see but she sure looked great last night. Enjoy the video!
